lmouth Artists Guild is housed in the Falmouth Art Center at the corner of Gifford Street and Dillingham Avenue on land donated by Chris Wise of Chatham. Construction began in September 2008 and was completed in May 2009, on time and on budget. The architect was Giampetro and Architects, LLP and the general contractor was V & V Construction Co., Inc. Landscaping was made possible by individuals and businesses donating their time and materials. Funding for the building was primarily from private individuals and foundations, and with a $240,000 grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund. No debt was incurred in completing the building. The Art Center was designed to accommodate future expansion in two additional phases. The second phase, which completed the lower level, was opened in 2014 providing a state of the art ceramic studio and an additional studio used primary for weaving and children's classes. The final phase to complete the top floor of the building will open in January, 2016. This will add a large studio for major workshops and big classes, a fiber studio, a conference room and a third gallery.

Our next Falmouth Art Center Fiber Group Meeting is Saturday, July 20th • 10:00 am – 12:00pm!

At the June meeting, Nicole did a great job introducing several different ways to use rags of fabrics to make rugs. We barely touched the surface, so we have decided to continue the conversation in the July meeting. We will also talk about the techniques of twining which can be used to create rag rugs with simple equipment.
